With “First Man” headed to theaters next month, Universal Pictures has brought online a featurette that explores the real Apollo XI mission. Check it out in the player above. There’s also an accompanying Augmented Reality experience that can be viewed on your phone by visiting moon.firstman.com.

Following their six-time Academy Award winning hit, “La La Land,” director Damien Chazelle and leading man Ryan Gosling reteam for the riveting story of NASA’s mission to land a man on the moon, focusing on Neil Armstrong and the years 1961-1969. Based on the book by James R. Hansen, the movie will explore the sacrifices and the cost — on both Armstrong and on the nation — of one of the most dangerous missions in history.
